Expressing one's view is certainly human, but we need to consider a few things before we do that. 1. the place: I feel this group has women members. Though we can't presume all of them will be against this sort of a discussion, I feel it flouts any kind of decency. 2. Context: this group is meant to discuss technology under certain permissible limits. As Harish has already mentioned there are places to discuss romance and that sort of things. 3. Precedence: if you wish to discuss pornography, someone else would like to discuss hacking or virtually anything that is generally regarded as unacceptable by a large majority of people.
So, while we have no right telling someone what he or she must do, I feel on equal measure, everyone has to respect the forum in which we are discussing things. I don't want to sound like the moderator, but I feel certain things are commonsensical and we shouldn't wait until the moderator slams a mail to stop us.

Hi sir, good morning! I presume that this email was intended for anyone else but by mistake it has been sent in reply to mine! You would have read my response to Mr Thahir where I tried furnishing some irrefutable points against pornography. For the Indian and western thing, please read the email I sent responding to Maheshji. I never said that more members are in favour or against it. But someone said, "just because 1 particular member doesn't likes any subject, wouldn't it be wrong to ban it all together?" Wasn't it necessary for me to tell the fact which is actually otherwise? Although I was astonished because the same person wrote, "i'm really surprised to see why is every1 so shocked to see 1 normal, basic topic?" "Everyone" and "one particular person" at the same time.
